I made a big  mistake of buying some land up in northern Florida few years back I had some friends that where buying closing and flipping and making bundle of money I got caught up in the excitement and bought at the wrong time at the height of the bubble maybe about 10yrs ago already I spent my own savings back then and  pissed away about 60kNow all I can really do is pay the tax bills and lesson to people say don't worry its land it will go back up some day if anyone has some suggestions on how I can turn things around please chime in

In terms of area, more specifically the location we went for is in the St Francis heights area a bit farther south which I think is a bit nicer than the northern part of Daly City (e.g. the Crocker area).My rationale for this area was (1) it is close to SF but does not suffer from all the rent controls and tenant friendly rules in SF itself, and (2) since it is close to BART, might be workable for someone working in city or in Bay Area but more value for money.My in-laws actually live in Richmond which is very nice.

Refresh kitchen countertops (currently bar height - decrease to counter height and replace with granite/quartz)It's the cheapest house in the neighborhood ($139/sf ft vs $150 avg) but I don't want to price myself out of the neighborhood. 

i have a property in chicago heights that i need to find the owner. any help

The catch is that the potential rooms are in the basement (which ceiling height is appropriate, ample amount of windows, and two possible egress options are available).

@Ann Howell a friend of mine is a high end builder in the Heights, and has a demo company he uses to do tear downs.  

I grew up in Crown Heights Brooklyn where "outsiders" viewed the area as drug and crime infested with low income, Sec. 8 and welfare residents.  

We focus primarily in the Old Brooklyn, West Park & West Blvd neighborhoods of the city as well as Parma, Lakewood and Garfield Heights.

I stumbled into the construction field by accident, having graduated at the height of the "Great Recession" I found the opportunities in my preferred field of Commercial RE Development very scarce.
